Relish breathtaking vistas from our mountaintop gazebo or your own balcony. Rekindle romance over a picnic lunch at one of our secluded overlooks or at the edge of our peaceful pond. Delight in the kaleidoscopic carpet of flowering plants (last count 1,300) that unfolds spring through autumn along our limitless hiking trails. Listen to the music sung by the myriad of birds that call our mountain their home. Rediscover wonder in a cathedral of old-growth trees which opens onto a cascading waterfall. Stroll along our mile-long border with The Great Smoky Mountains National Park or explore the Park through our private entrance.

 

Relax in our Jacuzzi or sauna or unwind in your room with a steam shower and then snuggle by the wood-burning fireplace. Curl up with a book from our library or nap in a hammock on one of our secluded hideaways. Recharge on our indoor racquetball court or savor more sedate pursuits such as horseshoes, badminton, or croquet. Rejuvenate with freshly-squeezed lemonade at "high" tea time (you're at 5,000 feet, remember). Indulge each evening in a memorable gourmet meal prepared by our remarkable chefs who use pristine mountain water and our own Swag-grown herbs and vegetables.

 

In the Privacy of your own room, enjoy: Luxurious robes, XM Satellite Radio and Bose CD players, personalized hiking sticks, fresh coffee beans, teas and coffee maker, refreshments and cold drinks tucked into your refrigerator, hair dryer and other thoughtful amenities.  New York Times Digest delivered to your door each morning.  Wireless internet connection in rooms and common areas.

 

Cuisine:  A not-to-be-missed hors d'oeuvre hour precedes superb cuisine nightly.  All three meals are included for two people in the room rate.
